Traffic is queuing as a major road remains closed after a crash and diesel spillage.
Merseyside Police were called to Speke Boulevard, at the junction of Speke Hall Avenue at around 4.30am on Monday, March 6, following reports of a crash. Once officers arrived at the scene they found a HGV, a bin wagon, and a Ford Fiesta had crashed on the road.
The North West Ambulance Service was called to the scene, with police later confirming slight injuries were reported. The crash also caused a huge spill of diesel across the carriageway, meaning the road was closed so Liverpool City Council could clean-up.
